Data Provider -How to either change run time testName for each run or call @Test methods based on @Test(data provider) received value.

[QA Lead]

Hi,



Using @DataProvider(name="runMode"), I am able get runMode and then using @DataProvider(name=testCases") I am able to read each tests from one or more sheets along with corresponding value from data sheet (used @DataProvider(name="runMode") data-provider). But my @Test(Data-Provider="testCases") gives same name for each run. Let us say it run 50 times then it will show like below

ReadSuite.testDataPr
ovi(java.lang.String,
java.lang.String,
java.lang.String,
java.lang.String,
java.lang.String,
java.lang.String,
java.lang.String)

for each run. I want it should give 50 names based on keyword.

Please have your DataProvider accept a POJO [ Plain Old Java Object] as a parameter and have it implement a custom toString() method which gives out the output as you need.

Hi Krishnan,

  Thanks for the solution which you have mentioned.
  Can you provide me little help about POJO as I never used this one.

[Alexander Poulikakos]

See wiki about POJO: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_Old_Java_Object

Hi

 

A POJO (Plain Old Java Object) is just a simple java class. For example this is a POJO:

 

public class MyPojo {

    private String a;

 

    public MyPojo(String a) {

        this.a = a;

    }

    public String getA() {

        return a;

    }

    @Override

    public String toString() {

        return a;

    }

}

 

 

You can have your DataProvider return POJO’s, and your @Test methods can take POJO’s as arguments.

[Giannis Papadakis]

You can use reflection to set the name of the method in results.

public void SetResultTestName(String methodName) {

try 

{

ITestResult result=Reporter.getCurrentTestResult();

BaseTestMethod bm = (BaseTestMethod)result.getMethod();

Field f = bm.getClass().getSuperclass().getDeclaredField("m_methodName");

f.setAccessible(true);

f.set(bm,methodName);        

}

catch (Exception ex) {

System.out.println("ex" + ex.getMessage());

}}

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the solution but I am facing problem when used POJO, have created POJO class as well
@DataProvider(name = "runTest")
    public TestProvider myTest() throws BiffException, IOException, Exception
    {  
    //code was there file reading ...
        testsWorkbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(file);
        Object[][] testCaseList=null;
        int totalRows=0;
        TestProvider testp = new TestProvider();// Creating POJO object
    int i, j;
    i=0;
        for(int row=0;row<10;row++) //Assuming maximum row is 10
        {
       
            j=0;
 
            for (int col = 1; col < 5; ) //Assuming maximum column is 5
            {
               
        testCaseList[i][j]=tab[col][row]

                        // Initializing POJO
                testp.setTest_Step_id((String) testCaseList[i][j++]);
                testp.setTest_step((String) testCaseList[i][j++]);
                testp.setObject_val((String) testCaseList[i][j++]);
                testp.setDsClm_name((String) testCaseList[i][j++]);
                testp.setAssert_val((String) testCaseList[i][j++]);
                testp.setDescription((String) testCaseList[i][j++]);
                testp.setAsrt_val_ds((String) testCaseList[i][j++]);

                //testCaseList[i][j]=testp;
                        // end of POJO initialization
            }
        }  
        //return testCaseList;
        return testp;
    }

 public void testDataProvi(String s1,String s2,String s3,String s4,String s5,String s6,String s7) throws Exception
    {
      now I want logic like
      if s2.equals("click")
           testClick() //calling test function
      .....
    }

testClick()
{
  ....
}
 when it will run, it should say in report that ReadSuite.testClick()  PASSED
and so on for others ...

Hi Giannis,

Thanks for your answer !
Should I call this reflection method in listner which I have created or how to call it ?

[Giannis Papadakis]

You can call it inside the listener or inside your dataProvider. It always returns the currentTestResult from Reporter class which is thread local variable (for multiple threads.)

Hi Giannis,

Thanks for the answer. I called it from @Test (DataProvider="xyz") but getting same result and expected result is not coming. I am expecting result like

[TestClass name=class selenium.bu.ReadSuite]   ReadSuite.testDataProvi(java.lang.String,
                                                                         java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String,
                                                                         java.lang.String, java.lang.String,java.lang.String)                
                                                                         [pri:0,instance:selenium.bu.ReadSuite@24dfb3be]           

where in actual I want, report should look like
[TestClass name=class selenium.bu.ReadSuite]      ReadSuite.browse()[pri:0,instance:selenium.bu.ReadSuite@24dfb3be]           

[QA Lead]

Hi,
Thanks for providing sample POJO.
I implemented it but @DataProvider(name = "runTest")    public Object[][] myTest() {} normally return Object type variable and when I am trying to return as POJO variable, it prompts return type error.

Hi Giannis,,

I am still facing problem in reporting just because of testName issue,

[Giannis Papadakis]

You can call the method inside your @Test and feed it from dataprovider for the name of the test in report.

Hi John,
I already called it from @Test(DataProvider="xyz") and do not understand about feeding. Did you suggest feeding the function "SetResultTestName" ?

public void testDataProvi(String s1,String s2,String s3,String s4,String s5,String s6,String s7) throws Exception
    {  

        SetResultTestName(s2);
         .....

     }
public void SetResultTestName(String methodName)
    {
        try
        {

        ITestResult myResult=Reporter.getCurrentTestResult();
        BaseTestMethod bm = (BaseTestMethod)myResult.getMethod();

[QA Lead]

Does we haney solution regarding this issue ?

[QA Lead]

Hi John,

  Sorry for typo error :(
   do we have any other remarks or solution ?

[QA Lead]

Hi
Any new update on it ?
